For more than a year, ominous rumors had been privately circulating among high-level Western leaders that the Soviet Union had been at work on what was darkly hinted to be the ultimate weapon: a doomsday device. Intelligence sources traced the site of the top secret Russian project to the perpetually fog-shrouded wasteland below the Arctic peaks of the Zhokhov Islands. What they were building or why it should be located in such a remote and desolate place no one could say.
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey / Oh, since I set my eyes on you. / I tell you the truth. I can't get it right / Get it right / Since I met you...
I was madly looking for the 'Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?' video clip.
Scott's best performance along with The Hustler and Patton definitely.
Dr. Strangelove is a largely unknown movie in Spain, since when it got out there was no "cold war" in Spain as we still were in the middle of a dictatorship.
And my intention was that the subject line would read "Mein Führer! I can walk!" but the profanity shield for subjects blocked it...

Well I prefer Miss Scott's (Tracy Reed) performance.
But, yeah, George C.'s ain't bad either. That part in the war room where he takes a tumble was supposedly an accident and not scripted but they kept it in.

I love when she calls him to the big room, that one-sided phone conversation is absolutely hilarious. But I guess you're meaning other kind of "performance". Mrs. Foreign Affairs ^_^

Yes, he kept whining that Kubrick made him repeat the scenes until he overacted too much, like in that scene. Yet he later admitted that it was his favourite performance once he could see the final result. That kind of strong, bold actors can be so funny when put in a comedy.
According to a date seen in a single scene in the movie, the happenings occur on Sept 13th 1963, which was a friday. A black friday for a black comedy. Just another one of too many subtle details, like calling Sterling's character "Jack D. Ripper" (Jack el destripador en español).
